Experiencing God In Depression

It is wonderful as servants of Jesus when we are enjoying victory in “God-sized” challenges and when we seem to be making great gains for His Kingdom. It feels great striding the mountain-tops of our spiritual life.  But how are we meant to experience God when our “God-sized” goal feels like it is just getting out of bed in the morning? Or making lunch is more than we can face?  Today we look at God’s prophet Elijah who heard God speak, experienced God’s power first hand, defeated hundreds of God’s enemies, and yet still fell into life-forsaking despair. He ran to the dessert, he hid in a cave, he wished his life would end… but God is waiting to meet His children there too, and nurture us back to health.
